Jerry Brown may be the savior of the California Republican Party.
"Brown, who has been meeting with legislators and interest groups over a budget shortfall estimated at more than $25 billion over the next year and a half, is considering a proposal under which lawmakers would send voters a package of tax hikes for their approval in a special election by summer, The Times reports. The proposal would likely require the state's infamously knotted Legislature to approve a budget by March 2011 — far earlier than it typically does — in order to hold the election before the new fiscal year begins in July. If the plan fails, according to The Times, Californians would be forced to live with an "austerity budget" marked by "far fewer government services."
Brown's proposed tax increases would be the equivalent to ObamaCare in the hearts of the voters. We got taken by the lies of Barack on health care, and no one believes higher taxes creates jobs, cuts deficits or stops the Capitol from corrupt spending.
The proposed special election will unite Californians, Republicans, Democrats and independents against the new/old Governor and the Democrats that endorse the measures.
California may have a bright light at the end of the tunnel, thanks to Jerry Brown. Then in 2012 California will join the rest of the nation in throwing out the Democrats.
BTW, I have been writing about this since the weekend BEFORE the election. It only took the LA Times a month to report on this.
